Palace House is the surviving      south west pavilion of a grand house built for King Charles II in Newmarket during the 17th century.

A Grade II listed building, it was on the point of dereliction when it was taken over by the local authority in 1992 and underwent a major rebuilding and restoration programme.

Newmarket is unique. It is the home of thoroughbred breeding, training and racing. King Charles II's palace was built in the 1670s and became known as his 'house of sport and pleasure’. He brought his court and entourage to the town for weeks at a time to enjoy racing and the other pastimes to be found in the town.

Over the centuries kings, queens, heads of state, politicians, business leaders as well as film and television stars have passed through the doors. The link with British royalty continued when HRH Princess Anne formally re-opened Palace House in 1998.

The building, with its vaulted ground-floor rooms and refurbished mews stables, is a popular venue for meetings, conferences, weddings and exhibitions.
